James Larance Causey

Some kind soul suggested to me a while back that maybe our line came from Thomas Causey,and now don't know why they thought that! my total info about this main line is as follows" Leslie Gordon CauseyJr. AL 1920-1999 Leslie Gordon Causey Al 1895-1943 James Charleston Causey AL 1857-1940 James Larance Causey NC 1823-1905 (I got this middle name Larance from the death certificate of James Charleston Causey)

these people were in the Tallapoosa Co. Alabama area and I find them first on the census in 1870 Grateful for any help! thanks. Jackie
